Shy And The Fight - I'd Rather You Lied

This isn't a proper release from the sprawling sextet but an old recording left in out-take purgatory during recording sessions for a forthcoming EP which won't sound much like this. Desperate hollering, heroic mini-guitar solos,wandering violin and prominent glockenspiel between verses give it more than the whiff of earlyish Los Campesinos! as redone by a post-Arcade Fire folk-bombast collective.
